Ben Franklin Redux: "A Jewish State, If You Can Keep It"...................from Dan Friedman

Who would have thought that Franklin’s proviso would apply to Israel 226 years later? But that is the crossroad Israel is approaching now.

Don’t look for equanimity from the Nations when it comes to Jews or our state. It has never happened - not once – in all of history. The solution, which is finally in our grasp, is a mighty Jewish defense force and the will to use it without anyone’s permission. Unfortunately, it’s the latter that’s lacking because too many Israelis and other Jews are obsessed with “being accepted,” and they’re going to chase after that even if they must die trying. As long as the twisted Israeli Left gains political traction by alleging that their leaders are alienating Barack Hussein Obama (and not fear being booed off the stage) things will continue to go from bad to worse.
Oh, one more thing. As in Franklin’s day, no one in Israel can afford to be be complacent. If Jews don’t value their great gift – two thousand years in the making – then the odds are against Israel being granted a happy ending.

Can the American taxpayer quit sending billions in welfare every year to your "Jewish" state now? After all, if Israel is finally going to put on it's big girl panties, you don't need my tax money any longer.
